Chapter 106 Suddenly Becoming Mediocre
Chapter 106 Suddenly Becoming Mediocre
Gu Zilu looked at Gu Ziyun calmly.
The young man had a calm demeanor and dark eyes, and his inner emotions were unreadable, which made Gu Ziyun slightly stunned.
"Second brother, let's not go on, okay?"
Gu Ziyun frowned and said coldly: "I think I want to use you. I'll talk about it later when I get married!"
Gu Zilu understood. Doesn’t marriage mean the end of the imperial examination?
He has already given the opportunity, but the second brother is stubborn and refuses to change, so don't blame him.
Gu Zilu nodded: "Okay, second brother, wait a minute. I will send it to you after I finish writing it."
Gu Ziyun was delighted and thought that Gu Zilu had changed, but he was overthinking. How could he have changed? He was still the same as before.
If he still doesn't listen, then use Su Jin to stimulate him, and this kid will obediently offer his poems and songs.
Gu Ziyun's face was full of pride.
However, when he left, he did not notice the sneer and disdain in Gu Zilu's eyes when he turned around.
Want a manuscript?
I can give it to you, but he has collected all his previous manuscripts. Second brother, study hard in the science exams, and I will give you a big gift.
When doing things, be clean and when cutting grass, make sure to remove the roots.
"gentlemen!"
Gu Zilu found Mr. Zhuzhi and sat down calmly: "Sir, I have a wish, I want to get the sixth place in the imperial examination."
Mr. Zhuzhi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Well, a good man should have such ambition. From today on, I will whip you more severely."
Six Yuan in the imperial examination? What an exciting wish!
From ancient times to the present, there have been only two people who have passed the imperial examinations and ranked sixth in the imperial examinations. Who would have thought that during his lifetime, Zhuzhi could teach a third person to pass the imperial examinations and ranked sixth in the imperial examinations?
Hahaha, okay, very good!
Mr. Zhuzhi was so excited that he almost became alert and hurriedly searched through his collection of books.
Gu Zilu is smart and has the ability, so he will definitely be able to do it.
Gu Zilu put aside all distractions and studied hard.
Tian Laosan's family officially became servants in his yard. Tian Daniu couldn't concentrate on reading and would fall asleep as soon as he opened a book. Gu Zilu took the initiative to send him to practice martial arts.
Anyway, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is composed of military generals, so this matter can be handled.
The days went on in an uneventful manner until the day of engagement arrived.
The betrothal gifts from the Marquis' Mansion were lined up in a long line. Gu Changqing and Gu Ziyun sat on tall horses, looking very proud.
Lin Wanhui stood at the door and tidied her son's clothes and hat, fearing that something might be wrong.
Gu Changqing saw that the time was almost up, and rebuked coldly: "Alright, let's get going."
Lin Wanhui bit her lip and could only let go of his hand in disappointment. Then she looked at Su Jin's carriage and her heart began to feel sour again.
She is obviously the biological mother, but she cannot even show her face.
Watching the team set off, Lin Wanhui could only stretch her neck and look at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion until the team disappeared.
Lin Wanhui looked unhappy. She hoped that Su Jin would not cause any trouble when her son was getting engaged!
All I can say is that Lin Wanhui was overthinking it. Su Jin supported this marriage. Anyway, Chen Xinlian was not worthy of Gu Zixuan, so being with Gu Ziyun was just right.
The streets were filled with onlookers. Everyone looked at the endless array of betrothal gifts and the lively geese. What was there to not understand?
"The betrothal gift from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is truly lavish!"
"I heard that this Yun Ge'er is not the eldest lady's biological son. The eldest lady is so concerned about the concubine's son. It seems that this eldest lady is also a very good person."
"Didn't you say she was not very good some time ago?"
"Hey, aren't those all the concubines in the mansion fooling around and messing around?"
"I heard that the concubine is the biological mother of this Yun Ge'er."
The crowd was whispering and pointing, and Gu Changqing frowned, obviously feeling a little disappointed.
Looking back, Su Jin was sitting in the carriage, feeling so comfortable.
People outside are spreading rumors?
Oh, it has nothing to do with her. She only heard good things about me anyway. As for the other things, what others said was not wrong.
Su Jin yawned, slowly tightened the curtain, and blocked the last bit of gap. I'm sorry, I'm weak and sick, and I can't be exposed to the wind.
At this moment, Gu Ziyun looked very smug and didn't even bother to listen to other people's whispers.
His mind and eyes were filled with his future and his career.
With Gu Zilu's manuscript and the influence of the Shangshu Mansion, I believe my future will be smooth.
Moreover, if Minister Chen is promoted one more level, he will be able to enter the cabinet and become prime minister. Only then will it be his time to shine.
Gu Ziyun was filled with joy and wished he could let the horse gallop to the Shangshu Mansion immediately.
He looked around proudly, but when he saw a figure, his heart sank and he suddenly fell into reality.
Mu Yanluo stood in the crowd with her bulging belly, staring at Gu Ziyun expectantly, as if she would rush up at the next second.
Gu Ziyun suddenly gripped the reins tightly and his heart began to beat fast.
This crazy woman should not come out and talk nonsense now, otherwise, his career will be in jeopardy!
Thinking of him looking away, pretending he didn't see anything.
In the crowd, Mu Yanluo bit her lower lip, her heart gradually sinking.
She waited for Gu Ziyun to come to Baihua Tower to redeem her, but unfortunately, he didn't come. She could only ask Gu Zixuan for help. In the end, Gu Zixuan paid the redemption money for her and found a place for her to live.
She came out to look for Gu Ziyun, but she couldn't see him anywhere. Even now she was standing in front of this person, but Gu Ziyun pretended not to see her.
Oh!
Mu Yanluo smiled desperately.
She touched her belly gently. After more than five months of pregnancy, her belly was already bulging, but her mood was getting colder and colder.
"Hey, is that Mu Yanluo next to it?"
The sound of whispering startled her, and Mu Yanluo quickly put on the veil and left in a hurry.
She showed her face so that Gu Ziyun could see it, but unfortunately, people who don't want to see it will never be able to see themselves even if they have a hundred eyes.
She glanced at the direction the team was leaving and decided to follow.
The team soon arrived at the Shangshu Mansion, which was already crowded with people.
There was a large crowd of people gathered at the door watching the fun, and the house was also full of people inside and outside. The doorman saw the figures of people from the Marquis' Mansion from afar and happily rushed in to report.
People in ancient times had many rules and etiquette, and there were also many rules for proposing a marriage proposal. Su Jin sent Gu Ziyun away and went in to rest first.
In the main seat, the Minister of Revenue Chen Huailiang and his wife Xu sat quietly, both of them with unstoppable joy on their faces.
Gu Changqing and Su Jin are here, and Gu Ziyun is here too. Doesn’t this just show how much others value me?
Seeing the lively ceremony outside, Xu smiled to her husband Chen Huailiang and said, "I think the lady won't dare to do anything. Look how much they value us. This is all thanks to the master. From now on, no one will dare to bully our girl!"
Chen Huailiang glanced at Su Jin. At this moment, the lady was sitting in her seat eating and drinking elegantly. It can only be said that the snacks in the Shangshu Mansion are not bad. In order to propose marriage today, all the food they bought was expensive and delicious.
How could the lady be so calm?
Does she really not hold a grudge against Gu Zixuan for breaking off the engagement, or does this lady simply not think highly of their Shangshu Mansion, so there is no such thing as a gap?
Chen Huailiang frowned slightly: "Recently, Yun'er's academic performance has suddenly become very mediocre."
